Tech-Recipes: CMD: Copy/Paste between window and command console/DOS program | Windows | Tech-Recipes

  • tony.kaliss@ilisagvik.cc · 6 years ago
    Thanks for the info but in practice I find that in 2000 and XP only the first few words of a paste FROM Windows to dos appear and then some garbage letters. I have found this on many computers and installations of 2000 and XP. Can you help me on this?
    P.S. copy from DOS program to Windows seems to work just fine. All text highlighted copies from the one to other.

    well that works kind of stupid with the right click, but at least it's something!

    i didn't have a way to copy from the command prompt before but there is another way to paste into it--try this with or without quickedit:
    - get some text in the clipboard
    - alt-space, e, p
    - it's pasted!
    you can also right-click the title bar or left-click the control box and choose edit/paste from there.
    besides that you can right-click in the window (without quickedit) and choose paste.

    oddly enough, there's a "copy" menu option, but it is always grayed out on the window's context menu (works in the control menu > edit) as you cannot select text other than select all, and when you right-click again the text is unselected.

    Select text with your mouse in the dos window, then try the copy feature again.

    However, i used

    reg.exe add HKCU\Console /v QuickEdit /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    in the command prompt, and it works fine now...
